About
Allan Ditton Pottery was started in 1995 in the
basement of my parents house. After
graduating from Alfred University, my parents
gave me a place to create and begin my
business. They believed that God had given me
a talent to be shared with others. Since then I
have gotten married to a wonderful wife, have
two beautiful children, along with a business
and trade that I love. Allan Ditton Pottery is a
labor of love with each piece handmade from
start to finish. Each piece is touched by the
potters hands at least 5 times before it
becomes a finished piece of art. You are
looking at a labor of love and a talent that I am
privileged to say God has given to me and now
I can pass it on to you. Thank you for your
interest in Allan Ditton Pottery

Production Practices
All of our work is wheel thrown, high fired, stoneware. The patterns are made using a white slip applied to the piece while wet. The patterns are made to look like waves. Our color scheme is done to resemble the ocean edge, with the water breaking on the sandy beach. The terra cotta on the top of the pieces is a water tight, matt crystalline glaze. We fire cone 10 electric and there is a considerable amount of micro crystal growth where the terra cotta and the blue green celadon mix together. All of our pieces are available in six colors.
